Selective CH Functionalization of Methane, Ethane, and Propane by a Perfluoroarene Iodine(III) Complex

Direct partial oxidation of methane, ethane, and propane to their respective trifluoroacetate esters is achieved by a homogeneous hypervalent iodine(III) complex in non-superacidic (trifluoroacetic acid) solvent. The reaction is highly selective for ester formation (>99 %). In the case of ethane, greater than 0.5 M EtTFA can be achieved. Preliminary kinetic analysis and density functional calculations support a nonradical electrophilic CH activation and iodine alkyl functionalization mechanism. Gas up: Direct partial oxidation of methane, ethane, and propane to their respective trifluoroacetate (TFA) esters is achieved by a homogeneous hypervalent iodine(III) complex in non-superacidic solvent (HTFA). The reaction is highly selective, and for ethane, greater than 0.5 M Et=TFA can be achieved. Preliminary kinetic analysis and density functional calculations support a nonradical electrophilic CH activation and iodine alkyl functionalization mechanism.
